An electronic gaming system includes a processor configured to execute instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to at least receive a wager amount and a bingo card parameter from an electronic gaming machine (EGM) that is communicatively coupled to the electronic gaming system. The instructions may also cause the processor to determine, based upon the wager amount, a subset of a plurality of bingo card parameters and compare the received bingo card parameter to the subset of the plurality of bingo card parameters to determine whether the received bingo card parameter matches any bingo card parameter of the subset of the plurality of bingo card parameters, where each bingo card parameter of the plurality of bingo card parameters is associated with a progressive jackpot. In addition, the instructions may cause the processor to award the progressive jackpot to a player of the EGM in response to determining that the received bingo card parameter matches a bingo card parameter of the subset of the plurality of bingo card parameters.
